Hi @chris
I saw the previous thread had been closed, so I opened a new one related to the previous one.
I am using WPML for my forum in french and English. I got the point regarding page ID and board ID.
If I want to get my post in English on the sidebar, I have to create a page in English in WordPress using ?lang=en parameter, which means the forum URL is xxx..com/community_en/?lang=en, not xxx.com/community_en/
My issue is with the sitemap. There is no xxx..com/community_en?lang=en/sitemap.xml file. It's an issue for SEO and Google indexing the English forum.
When I try to set community/?lang=en as a slug in the Boards admin panel, it changes it to "community-langen"
It erases the ? and =
When I click on sitemap https://xxx.com/community-langen/sitemap.xml because It doesn't find "community-langen" it shows me the default ones from /community
Sitemaps
https://xxx.com/community/topic-sitemap1.xml
https://xxx.com/community/forum-sitemap.xml
Please advise.
Hi @Chris,
I have to keep this structure https://xxx.com/community_en/?lang=en
The parameter ?lang=en allows us to show of English posts in the sidebar and not French posts.
I can easily create a https://xxx.com/community_en/?lang=en with WordPress and put [wpforo] code into this page with the correct board id connected to the proper page id.
My issue is with the slug and sitemap.
For now, if I write this slug community_en/?lang=en in wpforo admin panel, it switches automatically to community_en-langen
It removes "?" and "=," so the URL is wrong and I don't get a sitemap.
How to fix that? can I write in hard into the database?
Thanks
@Chris, I tried a workaround, but I still have the same issue with the sitemap.
I changed the language structure for my site from /?lang=en to /en to avoid ? or =
Now my structure is
- Page id (2310) - Board 0 xxx.com/community for French
- Page id (6959) - Board 7 xxx.com/en/community_en For English
When I mouse hover the sitemap for board 7 (English), it shows xxx.com/community_en without en.
So because this URL, xxx.com/community_en, doesn't exist on my site, when I click on it, it shows the sitemap of Board 0 (French). The default one for /community
It means I can't share a sitemap with google, which is unsuitable for SEO.
Please advise. I am ready to share my admin panel again.
Thanks
So because this URL, xxx.com/community_en, doesn't exist on my site
the english sitemaps exist
https:// bla..bla...bla....com/en/community_en/sitemap.xml https:// bla..bla...bla....com/en/community_en/topic-sitemap1.xml https:// bla..bla...bla....com/en/community_en/forum-sitemap.xml
